Noah Shannon isn’t the only impact defensive lineman returning to Iowa City this year. Leading an embarrassment of riches in the trenches, Logan Lee is returning to the Hawkeyes for his senior season as well.
Lee was a player many hoped would return for another year to help anchor one of the best defensive units in football. Last year, Lee impressed with eight tackles for loss and three sacks. He led the defensive line in total tackles with 53. Lee was a Big Ten honorable mention choice alongside his partner Noah Shannon.
Lee is a player who has improved his game with each passing week, but it’s not just his on-the-field play that is his ultimate contribution to the program. Ahead of last season, Lee emerged as one of the key leaders on the defense.
After losing some high-impact upperclassmen in Jack Campbell and Riley Moss, Lee’s voice will be one of the most impactful in the locker room. Even while missing spring practice due to a shoulder injury, he has left a massive impression on his teammates as a leader.
Logan Lee understands the standard Iowa football demands of its players as both athletes and as men and has embraced the team mentality. Here is a look at Logan Lee ahead of the 2023 season.
